Piano Shipping Cost from Athens to Santo Domingo

Upright Piano Shipping Costs Upright pianos, being more compact, cost less to ship internationally. On average, you'll pay between $2,000 to $5,000 for overseas shipping of an upright piano. This price typically includes basic packing, transportation, and standard insurance.

Moving a piano 20 miles locally generally costs between $100 and $300+, including a $50-$200 base fee plus $1.50-$3.00 per mile, but expect higher rates for grand pianos, stairs, or tight spots, potentially adding $40-$100+ for obstacles or specialized equipment, making the total range closer to $200-$700 for the whole job, notes this HomeAdvisor article, this Extra Space Storage article, and this HomeAdvisor article.

Hiring professional piano movers is always recommended. Professional piano movers will have the experience and expertise to safely pack and move your piano. For short-distance moves, look for a local piano mover in your city. For long-distance moves, White Glove shipping is the safest option.
